Sciatica Treatment in Westleigh
Sciatica refers to pain that starts in the low back and radiates down one or both legs. Trauma or various health conditions can cause it. It typically worsens with periods of sitting or standing. This type of discomfort often affects pregnant women, those with diabetes, and people who are obese.
Common Symptoms
Those with sciatica often experience the following:
- Hip pain
- A tingling or burning feeling down the leg
- Weakness, numbness, or a difficult time moving the leg or foot
- Continual discomfort that affects one side of the buttocks
- A shooting pain that makes it uncomfortable to stand up
Our Natural Approach
At Westleigh Chiropractic, our focus isn’t on treating symptoms, but promoting overall wellness. Chiropractic adjustments may help alleviate sciatic discomfort. Not only will we seek to address pain now, but also create a plan to help prevent it from returning.
Before we provide care to improve joint motion in the lower back, the first step is a consultation and comprehensive examination. We’ll let you know if we think you can benefit from our approach. If we believe another healthcare practitioner can better address your nerve pain, we’ll let you know that too.
